{10-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

. Karamalikis checked and Ivey bet 50,000. Karamalikis called.

The turn was the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

and Karamalikis checked. Ivey bet 145,000 nod Karamalikis went into the tank. He tossed in one of his time-break chips and took extra time to verify Ivey's stack size. Then, he moved all in. Ivey quickly called.

Ivey: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

Karamalikis: {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

The river card was a blank and Karamalikis was crippled to just 16,000 chips. Ivey stormed to 700,000.
